New York Underwater? Stevens' Resiliency Experts Work to Plan and Prepare
Some neighborhoods in the New York metro area will begin flooding once or twice every month as soon as the next few decades. A few could even go permanently underwater. Here's how Stevens researchers - and the Davidson Laboratory - are fighting to stop it.
Future Proofing Traditional Engineering
"We aim to future-proof the department, and do what we do best," says new CEOE department chair and director of the Davidson Laboratory Dr. Muhammad Hajj. Here's his plan to do that.
Reducing Stormwater Runoff in Hoboken
CEOE associate professor Elizabeth Fassman-Beck is a globally recognized expert on green roofs that minimize water runoff. She's using that expertise to create green infrastructure solutions for Hoboken -- and already has promising results.
Helping Hoboken Combat Flooding
CEOE assistant professor Valentina Prigiobbe spoke with WPIX 11 about how Hoboken's infrastructure makes it prone to flooding.
Maritime Security Center Summer Research Program Success
Stevens Maritime Security Center works on projects tailored to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This year's Summer Research Institute projects were particularly inventive -- including its first invention disclosure and potential provisional patent filing.
The Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering (CEOE) offers undergraduate and graduate programs, in addition to a variety of graduate certificates and minors that prepare students to succeed in a variety of fields. These programs all share the core principals of engineering, and are embedded in the infrastructure that directly affects the economy and society. At Stevens, civil engineering has been an important discipline since the founding of the university, and CEOE has expanded to include offerings in environmental and oceanographic engineering as a response to ongoing developments in the field.
